THE Colorado Citizen and the Sc
guin Record are discussing a question
OF journalistic ethics. The Citizen lie.
heves in n paper expressing its honest
convictions. The Record man believes
that the editor ought not to express
private opinions in his paper. A news
paper, to be respected, should have
decided opinions and they should be
fearlessly expressed Sherman Regis
tel.
A newspaper may be private prop
erty in one sense, but in more i'm
portant sense it can not be. If 1t
amounts to anything, it has some in
fluence upon the reading public from
which it derives support. II is NOR
ally bound to speak out distinctly up
on issues of interest TO its patrons
without money or price in the way OF
brides or bonuses, and exert its inilu'
ence in the right direction; and the
public are equally obligated to
sustain the right. The man who
sells his moral principles, opinions
and influence at so much per line
is considered weak and dishonest. i
is the same with newspaper. Tho
Prohibition campaign presents an issue
upon which every man has right tc
express himself-upon which every
paper is bound TO take Il positive stand
The HERALD does so freely, consider
ing it duty.

THE condemned Albert Robertson
who is to hang at Tyler on the goth for
wife murder, protests his innocence
and hopes to have his sentence com
muted to life Imprisonment. He de-
clares he knows nothing of the muir
der. The HERALD has not read the
evidence in the case and does not
know the man; but his case is a sad
one certainly. and suggests that man
should never be hung on circumstan
tial evidence. The death penalty
could wei be committed to life I'M
prisonmcnt, in nine cases out of ten
where il is imposed.

ONE of the strong arguments OF the
ants against prohibition is that the
revenue from licenses goes towards
paying the expenses OF the govern
ment. The full amount of income
from licenses, aud more, goes to pros
ecute the siX-sevenths crime caused by
the liquor traffic. and TO sustain courts
and prisoners. 1t may also be said
with equal truth and merit that the
Government is an instrument Of the
people TO preserve order and promote
education and good society, which
would he wholly unnecessary if every
one would observe the laws OF God;
but as every one will not do right, and
to protect the honest and the weak
from unjust encroachments of the i'm
moral. vicious and brutal, the govern
ment is organized, and the tax is es-
scntial. To license an evil of any
kind for the sake Of revenue would
be directly contrary TO the spirit OF
the government. 1t would beencour-
aging wrong, Tor money, when it is
intended by system of voluntary
contributions (taxatioh) to preserve
life. maintain good order and benefit
society.

THE HERALD doesn't claim to be a
prophet, but must be admitted to be a
good guesser when its predictions Of
the last three months that the inter-
state commerce bill was more in the
interest of the railways than the pub
lie. are being verified in complaints
from every quarter south and west
that long haul rates have been raised
without a comparative reduction in
rates on short hauls. The San Anto-
MO Times briefly remarks:
The mills of the interstate commerce
commission seems 20 be grinding TOO

ored for tho passage Of the bill.

THE Post doubts the wisdom OF the
selection of Hon. Banett Gibbs as the
anti-prohibiiion leader for Texas. Mr.
Gibbs is quite a shrewd politician, 1t
is true. but there are other qualities
necessary TO successful leadership
which he does not possess. Houston
Post.
Now, the HERALD protests that this
is extremely unfair. The anti cause is
very weak, it is true, but TO blame
Hon. Barney with it is unkind. The
Post favored Gibbs for congress and
has ever been staunch friend of the
energetic and popular kid statesman
aud now these structures on his leader
ship certainly come with very bad
grace from the Post. The liquor cause
is a bad one, and hard one to bolster
I'M. and the Post should be more ener-
getic in holding up its own end rather
than turning loose'all hold to try ana
blame its weakness on its distin-
guished and able leader.

Gov. Ross has vetoed the bill post
poning the collection OF taxes in tie
drouth district, which was designed
TO defer forced collection for sew
eral months. This was expected. Gov
Ross reasons are the unconstitutional
ity of the billbecause of its partial leg
islation, and then, too, because the in
terest of the State demanded its veto.
Than Gov. Ross there is no truer
friend to the west, and no more hu
name sympathizer with. those unfor-
tunate people, but he has a duty TO
perform. The governor had seventy
protests against the bill from collect
ors of the west, who say that only
about % per cent remains unpaid. and
of that very small amount by farm
ers or settlers.

The election in Tennessee last
Thursday resulted, according to the
latest returns, in the defeat Of the
Prohibition amendment by from TO-
900 to 1000 majority. The feature
of the election was the presence OF
ladies at the polls, working aud plead
ing with voters to cast their ballots
for the amendment. Lunches with
hot coffee were set at the polling
places, and whenever q man presented
himself to vote the anti ticket he was
surrounded by the ladies, argued
with, and if very stubborn prayed for
and regaled with sacred songs. The
voters showed universal respect for
the ladies"

A Phase Of Life.

There is an old saying that one half
of the people don't know how the
other half live, and the following
from the Philadelphia Times of Sep
tember "a ult, proves the truth of
saying: A stout, shapeless woman
about forty years of age, with face
that hitishs might have envied, sat
beside rough but good looking man
ut least ten years her junior on the
front seat of the prisoners dock at
the Central Station yesterday after
noon. They were Mrs. Ella Forrest
and Joel z. Thompson and they had
eloped from the winds of Montana
TO settle down in this city. Charles
d. Forrest, the deserted husband,
traced them here and, with Detective
Peter Miller, found them IN a board
ing house at 1910 Pine street De.
tective Miller arrested and took them
to the Central Station, where Msgis.
trate Pole called them to account at
two o'clock yesterday afternoon
Forrest, ajolly looking middle aged
man, whose appearance WAS any thing
but that of deserted and outraged,
husband, was the only witness ex-
amined He said he and the woman,
whose maiden name was Ella Dayton
had lived together as man and wife
for sixteen years at Billens, Montana,
where he conducted the Park Hotel.
Four months ago Thompson came to
the hotel, registered from Danville
Pa, and took a room. A week later
he WAS taken sick He had no money,
but Forrest kept him there and told
was fully recovered. When Thomp-
son was restored to health Forrest
gave him a position at the hotel.
In the latter part of August, said
Forrest, 1.-The hotel was entirely de
stroyed by fire, and Thompson left
Billens, saying he was coming East
A few days after his departure my
wife complained Of feeling unwell
and | sent her to St Paul, MINI, fol

another for 81, 200 She met Thomp-
son at St Paul drew the money and
fed. Wien / discovered that she
had left me I traced Thompson 4
trunk from st. Paul to Chicago, and
from there to Philadelphia. 1 came
to Philadelphia Sunday, and Detec-
tive Miller aided me IN finding my
wife.
Thompson had nothing to say, and
the woman was equally as reticent.
What do you want done with your
wife and her companion ?" asked
Magistrate Pole Of Forrest.
do you want me to discharge
themf"
That's what 1 want, said Forrest.
Il don't care what becomes OF
Thompson and intend to take my
wife back to Montana with me
The prisoners were discharged
from custody, and Forrest and his
wife walked out Chestnut stree to,
gether, while Thompson stood on
the steps Of the Mayors Office and
gazed longingly after them. Pre-
Vlous to the hearing Forrest had &
long talk with his wavward wife.
She told him she still had SI,7OO Of
-he money left and was willing to re-
urn home with him. She told Chief
IF Detectives wood that her husbands
name was not Forrest but Frank Ham
